Awakening the Hidden Claw: The Path of the Butterfly Palm 覺醒隱爪:蝴蝶掌之道

ABOUT

Awakening the Hidden Claw: The Path of the Butterfly Palm introduces students to the foundational elements of Cat Style Kung Fu through the powerful art of the Butterfly Palm (蝴蝶掌). This level focuses on cultivating internal energy (Hei Gung | 氣功), with a strong emphasis on breath control and its connection to movement, power, and awareness. Students will learn: ✔️Fundamentals of Hei Gung (氣功): proper breathing techniques, rhythm, and intent to unlock inner potential. ✔️Historical Insights: a deep dive into the legacy of the Ten Tigers of Kwantung (廣東十虎), their connection to our lineage, and their enduring impact on Southern Chinese martial arts. ✔️Cantonese Counting System: essential for understanding commands, drills, and traditional recitations. ✔️Intro to Iron Arm Conditioning (鐵臂功夫): beginning methods to develop strength, structure, and resilience. ✔️Butterfly Palm Form: Students will begin learning the fluid motions and feline stepping patterns associated with this hand Kuen Fa. ✔️More than just physical training, this course cultivates discipline, historical respect, and internal harmony. It represents the next step toward understanding and embodying the Cat Kung Fu of Leung Wing Hang, a system where softness conceals strength, precision flows through every motion, and the legacy of our lineage comes to life through breath, movement, and intent.
